Enter a brief description for the port (64 characters maximum). The description should
reflect the port's intended function to differentiate it from others with similar
configurations.
Select the Enabled radio button to define this port as active to the profile it supports.
Select the Disabled radio button to disable this physical port in the profile. It can be
activated at any future time when needed.
Select the speed at which the port can receive and transmit the data. Select either 10
Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps. Select either of these options to establish a 10, 100 or 1000
Mbps data transfer rate for the selected half duplex or full duplex transmission over the
port. These options are not available if Auto is selected. Select Automatic to enable the
port to automatically exchange information about data transmission speed and duplex
capabilities. Auto negotiation is helpful when in an environment where different devices
are connected and disconnected on a regular basis. Automatic is the default setting.
Select either half, full or automatic as the duplex option. Select Half duplex to send data
over the port, then immediately receive data from the same direction in which the data
was transmitted. Like a full-duplex transmission, a half-duplex transmission can carry
data in both directions, just not at the same time. Select Full duplex to transmit data to
and from the port at the same time. Using full duplex, the port can send data while
receiving data as well. Select Automatic to enable to the access point to dynamically
duplex as port performance needs dictate. Automatic is the default setting.
